As she has probably been warned, Meghan Markle will be given a huge number of gifts throughout her life in the Royal Family and some of them will be very unusual.

But Bristol artist Henry James Garrett has likely hit it on the head with his gift to Prince Harry's new wife the Duchess of Sussex.

On her visit to charity the Survivors' Network, which supports sexual assault survivors in Sussex with the Prince, Meghan was given a custom illustration of her newly-adopted Beagle Guy dismantling the patriarchy.

Best known through his handle @DrawingsOfDogs on social media, the artist focuses on "wholesome memes with social justice themes" and for the Royal gift he altered his "Patriarchy Boy" piece to feature Markle's beagle.

It reads: "Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?"

"A boy who makes every effort to dismantle the patriarchy (whilst keeping in mind intersections of other forms of oppression)."

It seemed to go down a storm with the American former actress who laughed after reading it.

Garrett explained his project for the Duchess of Sussex on Instagram. "[Survivors' Network] is a charity that works tirelessly, powerfully, and empathetically with survivors of sexual violence," he explained.

"Five British pounds of each sale of "Patriarchy Boy" are donated to the organization.

"A couple of weeks ago, they told me that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were coming to visit and that they'd like my help in giving them a gift," he added.

As reported by Bazaar, she said: "I think right now in the climate that we're seeing so many campaigns, I mean, Me Too and Time's Up, there is no better time to continue to shine a light on women feeling empowered and people really having to support them — men are included in that. It makes such a tremendous difference."
